Organizations must be resilient if they are to survive and thrive in turbulent times. Learning from experience, investments in three areas can help them move from denial and paralysis to acceptance and practical solutions: (i) leadership and culture—which define the adaptive capacity of the organization; (ii) networks—which amount to the internal and external relationships fostered and developed for the organization to leverage when needed; and (iii) change readiness—which signifies the planning undertaken and direction established to enable the organization to be change-ready.

This video is about "One Mouth Two Ears" a sermon delivered by Pastor Kathy Vitalis Hoffman at Zion Lutheran Church, Middletown, Maryland.
Mark 9:2-9
2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6 He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!" 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

Your Question: There is so much drama in my life. I can't take it anymore. My boyfriend has one foot out the door and I am pregnant with his child and I'm in a custody battle about my first child. Please help me find the good in all of this.
Your Answer: First I am so sorry. What a huge amount of stress to be under WHILE pregnant.
1. Compassion: Please be kind to you for all you're going through, the desires for safety and protection and partnership. AND have compassion for him supporting you, he might be triggered and pulling away which makes you feel even more scared.
2. Remember the Angels: Two children, one you have and one on the way, they are counting on you to respond not react, to be victors not victims, to see what's right about this, what's the lesson, where's the growth, what's possible as a team? Yet when you're empty and scared, this is hard. So...
3. Fill up your tank: When we're empty, we're in our lower brain, freaking out, adrenals putting us into fight or flight and all we end up doing is fighting. Yet when we're full, we can access our problem solving higher brain and also find empathy and solutions... so how?
4. Self Care: Go for a walk, take ME time, pray, meditate, praise and appreciate one another, be in nature, be grateful for every friggen' thing you can think of... even if it's just that there's a roof over your head and foot in your belly. From there, from fullness, connect with your boyfriend and create a solid foundation for your future.

Being vulnerable is, many think, a weakness.
It's actually how we can grow....
Allow yourself to be vulnerable. I see and hear this every day when I do my psychic readings.
How vulnerable are you?
Especially with the stresses in your life, your fitness and health, money and abundance matters, and the drudgery and overwhelm in your everyday life.
Watch and take in the tip......

All the wishes to be strong enough, powerful enough, secure enough finally fail in the presence of this miracle. We can only be weak enough for God to enter in, and God’s weakness is the force that transforms the world.
